BASIC commands
PROGRAMMING MANUAL 103
Revision 5.0
3.2.153 IN
/i
Description This structure controls the flow of the program based on the results of the con-
dition. If the condition is TRUE the commands following THEN up to ELSEIF,
ELSE or ENDIF are executed. If the condition is FALSE and the command of
a subsequent ELSEIF substructre is TRUE, the commands of this substruc-
ture are executed. If all conditions are FALSE the commands following ELSE
will be executed or the program will resume at the line after ENDIF in case no
ELSE is included. The ENDIF is used to mark the end of the conditional block.
Note: IF..THEN..ELSE..ENDIF sequences can be nested without limit. For a
multi-line IF..THEN construction, there must not be any statement after THEN.
A single-line construction must not use ENDIF.
Arguments • condition_i
A logical expression.
• commands
One or more BASIC commands.
Example IF MPOS > (0.22 * VR(0)) THEN GOTO exceeds_length
Example IF IN(0) = ON THEN
count = count + 1
PRINT "COUNTS = ";count
fail = 0
ELSE
fail = fail + 1
ENDIF
Example IF IN(stop)=ON THEN
OP(8,ON)
VR(cycle_flag)=0
ELSEIF IN(start_cycle)=ON THEN
VR(cycle_flag)=1
ELSEIF IN(step1)=ON THEN
VR(cycle_flag)=99
ENDIF
Example IF key_char=$31 THEN
GOSUB char_1
ELSEIF key_char=$32 THEN
GOSUB char_2
ELSEIF key_char=$33 THEN
GOSUB char_3
ELSE
PRINT "Character unknown"
ENDIF

Type I/O function
Syntax IN(input_number [ ,final_input_number ])
IN
Description The IN function returns the value of digital inputs.
• IN(input_number, final_input_number) will return the binary sum of
the group of inputs in range [input_number, final_input_number]. The
two arguments must be less than 24 apart.
• IN(input_number) will return the value of the particular input specified
by the parameter input_number.
Arguments • input_number
The number of the input for which to return a value. The range for this
parameter depends on the number of additional digital I/O connected
over the MECHATROLINK-II bus. If there are no digital I/O connected,
the range for this parameter is 0..31.
• final_ input_number
The number of the last input for which to return a value. The range for
this parameter depends on the number of additional digital I/O connected
over the MECHATROLINK-II bus. If there are no digital I/O connected,
the range for this parameter is 0..31
